Abstract
The paper discusses how Cedars-Sinai is one of the finest health providers in the state of California. The paper looks at how hospitals and health care facilities are facing several kinds of legal and ethical issues that complicate their service. The paper shows how the organization is indeed performing at its optimum best and is ensuring the safety and the well being of the patient, while at the same time maintaining the high quality and standards that are expected of a Medical Care Center like Cedars-Sinai. The paper concludes that perhaps this is the reason that more and more numbers of patients are flocking to this hospital today.
From the Paper
"Cedars-Sinai is one of the finest health providers in the state of California, and perhaps this is one of the reasons that the hospital has been able to make numerous advances in medicine, because of which it has been possible to save many more lives than before. Today, there are more than 1,800 physicians from almost all the specialties there are, affiliated with the Cedars- Sinai. In addition, there are 8,000 employees, 2,000 volunteers, and about 15,000 more people belonging to various fund-raising groups, and it is all these people together who make up the quality of health care that is offered in the Cedars Sinai hospital. (Cedars-Sinai is leading the Quest for Health among California Hospitals)"

Abstract
David Guterson?s "Snow Falling on Cedars" examines the shaky relationships between Japanese-American islanders and whites in the story?s setting of Amity Harbor. The paper shows how far some people are willing to go outside the norm when dealing with people from different races and the consequences of these actions. The paper shows that interracial relationships prove to be hypocritical in the novel, as the Japanese-Americans and whites seem to be friendly to one another in normal situations, but in times of war and during a murder trial, they are torn apart and suspicious of one another.
From the Paper
"Hatsue?s mentor, Mrs. Shigemura, teaches Hatsue what Japanese girls had always been taught ? to stay away from white men because they are sex-driven, and to only marry a Japanese man ?whose heart is strong and good? (84). In their final time together, hidden away in the cedar tree hideaway they have had for years, Hatsue decides it does not feel right to be with Ishmael. Regardless of this, her mother finds out the secret relationship that exists between her and Ishmael. Reacting like any parent of the time would at the news of an interracial relationship, Fujiko Imada demands her daughter never again speak to or see the white boy. One can only think that without the influence of Mrs. Shigemura and the general attitudes towards interracial relationships, she would have never come to this conclusion."

Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes the character of African-American Rena in Chesnutt's novel, who is able to 'pass' herself off as white. Given the ethical circumstances of duress under which the heroine lives, the writer contends and explains why Rena's actions may be justified. This paper discusses early 20th southern society in America, which made a fetish of racial distinction. This paper details the plot and main characters of Chesnutt's novel, while focusing on the issue of 'passing' and how easy it is to misconstrue one's race. This book makes a powerful case against the practice of passing, which are detailed in this paper. The writer delves into the ethical ramifications of passing in a racist society and explains why Rena denied a fundamental part of herself by pretending to be white.
From the Paper
"When Rena learns of the transience of George's affections and she falls ill. However, Rena recovers and vows goes on to work toward uplifting her race, although she dies at the end of the text, perhaps in a nod to the author's acknowledgement to the common cultural trope of the 'tragic mulatto.' But Rena is not condemned because she engages in 'passing' The House Behind the Cedars makes a powerful case against 'passing,' but not because it is unethical. Passing is not wrong ethically or morally in a racist society, and race itself is a fluid category. But by not identifying with her parentage heritage fully, Rena denies a fundamental part of herself and becomes tied to a man who is not worthy of her."

Abstract
Individual judgments of Kabuo Miyamoto are profoundly affected by racial stereotypes in David Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars. In the first place, Miyamoto was placed in an internment camp, along with other Japanese-Americans, on the basis of racism and nothing else.
From the Paper
"Individual judgments of Kabuo Miyamoto are profoundly affected by racial stereotypes in David Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars. In the first place, Miyamoto was placed in an internment camp, along with other Japanese-Americans, on the basis of racism and nothing else. Miyamoto and the others were seen as dangerous enemies of the United States on the basis of their racial heritage, their skin color, their facial features, their names, and nothing else. There was absolutely no evidence that Miyamoto had committed any crime against the United States or posed any danger to the United States, but he was placed in an internment camp nevertheless.
While it is true that there is evidence which suggests his involvement in the murder of the other fisherman, Carl Heine, that evidence seems, to the reader, at least, if not the other ..."

Abstract
An examination of David Guterson's "Snow Falling on Cedars". The author examines the cultural issues in the novel. This is done by exploring the main character and how she is torn between two cultures.
From the Paper
?Snow Falling on Cedars,? by David Guterson is more than just a love story, a murder mystery, or a tale of Japanese-American internment during World War II. While it is indeed all of those, there is a distinct other dimension of the book which explores the unique difficulties of culture. In this case, the female protagonist, Hatsue, is caught between two cultures, belonging partially to both and wholly to neither. She is of Japanese descent and traditions, growing up in American society, in love with and loved by an American boy. During the course of the novel, she must decide finally what and who she is, where she belongs. It seems intuitively natural, in our American arrogance, to assume that she should embrace American culture including the old adage that love conquers all. However, to say that Hatsue should forsake her Japanese heritage and marry an American is to subordinate her to our own image and deprive her of her essential character ? fundamentally a racist act."

Abstract
In the novel Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterman, events in a community on a small island in Puget Sound show the persistence of certain attitudes after World War II and how people who survived that conflict continue to live out the tensions and resentments of that war.
From the Paper
"In the novel Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterman, events in a community on a small island in Puget Sound show the persistence of certain attitudes after World War II and how people who survived that conflict continue to live out the tensions and resentments of that war. Kabuo Miyamoto is a Japanese-American who spent the war in an internment camp, but once released, he still finds that his neighbors distrust him and are prejudiced against him because of his ancestry. Such prejudices become all the more heated in the context of a murder trial. World War II is always present for the characters in this novel, serving as suspected motive for the murder, as the crucible in which attitudes and human being were shaped, as a source of continuing discrimination, and as the major historical event remembered by the population."

Abstract
This is an insightful essay dealing with the impact of World War Two on two communities, which contain Japanese Canadians and Americans. The two novels, "Obasan" and "Snow Falling on Cedars", show the prejudice and racism of the Second World War, as well as the paranoia of the white community. The essay describes the impacts of the war, and also contrasts how memories and emotions of war can be suppressed by silence or resurfaced in everyday life. This essay shows both effects using the two novels to show the various outcomes.
From the Paper
"Many memorable events in people?s lives have the power to affect their memories, emotions, and relationships later in life. These events may be positive or negative and are dealt with in various ways, such as silence, anger, denial or confrontation. In "Snow Falling on Cedars", by David Guterson, and "Obasan", by Joy Kogawa, the event of World War II creates lasting impressions on all the characters, which are evident even many years later in both plots. In "Snow Falling on Cedars", a man named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged for the murder of a well-liked fisherman. While he and others are on the stand, memories of World War II surface, revealing a complex plot containing separated lovers, a battle for land, and the island?s always present, racism. In Kogawa?s novel, a schoolteacher named Naomi Nakane visits her Aunt Obasan because her uncle has passed away. During the visit she remembers her family?s separation and relocation during World War II through the reading of diaries, and eventually learns the details of her mother?s demise after thirty years. Both novels deal with the prejudice toward the Japanese in North America during the Second World War, as well as show the lasting effects that war leaves on its survivor."

Abstract
Discusses theme of intolerance in David Gutterson's novel. Internment of Japanese Americans during World War Two. Role of intolerance in murder investigation and townspeople's percenptions of Miyamoto. The outsider as foreigner and victim of hatred. Examples of intolerance in Miyamoto's murder trial, in the life of the town, and in the judgments of Miyamoto.
From the Paper
"Kabuo Miyamoto in David Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars is a victim of intolerance and that victimization has helped shape him as a man. He was placed in an internment camp, along with other Japanese-Americans, on the basis of racism and nothing else. He, along with the others, was seen as an enemy of the nation on the basis of his racial heritage, his skin color, his facial features, his name, and for no other reasons. Intolerance and fear dictated the public policy which treated American citizens of Japanese heritage as enemies. There was absolutely no evidence that Miyamoto had committed any crime against the United States or posed any danger to the United States, but he was placed in an internment camp nevertheless, based solely on racial prejudice and intolerance.
With respect to the murder of Carl Heine, even that evidence ..."

From the Paper
"In her book Standing Again at Sinai, Judith Plaskow attempts to shape and describe a feminist Judaism, and she does so by describing the existing situation and how it developed, the meaning of a feminist Judaism, and how such a change might be brought about, assuming that it is determined that this would be a valuable addition to Judaic thought and practice. Plaskow begins by noting the contradictions that exist between a feminist conception of Judaism and the actuality, and she then considers different aspects of Jewish life and how women fit into them as well as how she believes women should fit into them. Her discussion echoes that of a number of other religious and feminist theorists who have considered the nature of religious thought today, the way a patriarchal religious society has developed, and how to regain some of what has been lost over the ...

"At the center of Judaism, is JHWH, the great tetragrammaton that signifies the monotheistic god of that religion. The greatness is at least partly indicated by the use of the tetragrammaton, which is not to be pronounced. The name of their god is so holy, so fundamentally mysterious, that it is not to be uttered by human beings. In more orthodox circles, JHWH is only referred to as HaShem, or the Name.
Judaism is characterized by both the Ten Commandments and the Great Commandment. It is an ethical religion designed to help believers maintain right relationship with their god and ... "

Up Close and Personal with God, 2002.
An understanding God's reasoning for staying with the world in the midst of human sinfulness.
5,024 words (approx. 20.1 pages), 20 sources, APA, $ 126.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the sinfulness of mankind has been manifest, certainly, despite the proscriptions to the contrary handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai and enumerated in the OT Scripture and how the definition of what is sinful has changed and evolved over the millennia, as people have attempted to grasp what God intended for them through an understanding of what is contained in the Bible. Through a review of the relevant literature, it attempts to understand historic debates about what God does and why and how this applies to us personally.
From the Paper
"Whenever mere humans attempt to interpret and understand the word of God as revealed in the Old Testament, there are bound to be differences of opinion. In fact, the name, "Old Testament," tends to flavor the material somewhat, with the "Old" being, perhaps, superseded to some extent by the "New." This is a natural reaction to the names, perhaps, but this tendency to relate "Old" and "New" in this fashion only serves to add fuel to the interpretive fires as people throughout history have sought to understand God's word and how it applies to them personally.

Abstract
This paper states that, unlike the Jewish concept of God, traditional Christianity teaches that God is in the form of the Trinity, consisting of the God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The author points out that the Land of Israel, where there has been a continual Jewish presence in Israel and its surrounding areas since the time of Abraham, is believed by Judaism to be part of the covenant made between God and the Jewish People at Mont Sinai. The paper relates that the Koran, the principal source of Islamic law, called Sharia, contains the rules by which a Muslim society is organized and governed and provides the means to resolve conflicts among individuals and between the individual and the state.
From the Paper
"According to Islamic doctrine, Jesus will return to over-throw al-Dajjal in the battle of 'Aqabat Afiq' in Syria, or at the Lud gate in Jerusalem according to other accounts. It is believed that Jesus will "kill all pigs and break all crosses,? confirming Islam as the only true religion. After 40 years Jesus will die and be buried next to Muhammad in Medina. Islam teaches that Jesus did not die in A.D. 33 but has been in a state of "suspended animation" ever since."
